    A rocky start after I had to NUDGE the Seller into checking on my order after MORE than a week with NOTHING happening... But Seller communication was GOOD and the item showed up, well packaged, within the delivery window. Item was well priced, and they had a series that I STRUGGLED to find elsewhere, in NEW condition. I would recommend this seller if you can't find it elsewhere, that's the best I can give them.

  • Great historical fiction book for children and adults.

    My fourth grade daughter is reading this with her class to learn about the California Gold Rush (and apparently about ships). My second grade son and I are also enjoying it. Thank you to Goodwill Industries for selling so many great used books for an affordable price with no shipping fees!
